California, after examining the

told the President of that associa-
ton that, THE grapes are as
fine IN appearance, and far supe-
rior in flavor to any | have seen
in California. There is one char
acteristic OF all the fruits | have
seen in this valley, and that Is the
perfect symmetry OF all classes of
your fruits. Every apple, peach,
pear and grape berry is perfect
withouta Il knot or flaw. Although
we raise larger fruit perhaps in
California than | have seen here,
the per centage OF imperfect fruit
is much larger in California than
in the Mesilla Valley. There is
no reason why Lincoln County
will not produce as fine apples,
peaches and pears as the Mesilla
Valley.

THE GLENN BILL.

This is what a bill lately present
ed III the Georgia Legislature by
a Mr.. Glenn, is called, and which
is attracting attention beyond the
borders OF the State Immediately
involved 1t is bill to prohibit
the co-education of the races
blacks and whitcs.
Long before political parties
were created in the United States,
it wns said of the Bourbons, a
French pullical party, that they
never learned or forgot anything.
The provcrb has been handed
down as a mantle properly fitting
and adiustibe to the Democratic
party Of oul day and generation.

American Bombons was, do You

We favored the passage OF law

Gratis from such calamltous unions,
AZ "aboIitionists" were not AFRAID
OF the cropping out OF such unnat-
ural tastes in their daughters.
Now, in the light of experience
which has demonstrated the folly
of such apprehensions, the Bour
bons Of the South are yet solicit

nearly a majority OF the South

not believe there is a colorcd man
ON earth who would change his

white enemies are ashamed OF it.
We have known women whose
veins carried black blood, who
would have passed for white per-
sons anywhere, were it not that
their natures prompted them to

mensely rich in our eyes. One of the
three is reported to be over 100000

we believe no such stuff. We don't say
that these lucky men haven't made
money but no such sum as above nameh.

The Fair is over for another year The
attendane was fattering. The last two
days the ground was crowded, and the
managers were in high spirits. The
tournament on Thursday was rather
tame, but the athletic sports on Friday
were highly entertaining. The racing
was not quite up to former years. There
was too many entries and too few horses,
However, everything was done in good
style and those who received premiums

We note with much pleasure the sub
stantial Improvements being made in
several of our stores. j. w. Parrish, our
enterprising, as well as most reliablq
jeweler, has had his place of business
thoroughly painted and decorated On
the inside, while the exterior decora-
tions have not been forgotten. Such en-.
terprisc on the part of Mr.. Parrish will
not and should not go unrewarded. He
has created revolution in his particular
line of business and his trade is increas-
ing daily.
Beaton Smith, druggist, in Caskey
Building, has had his large drug store
tastefully, and we might add, beautifully
decorated. The manager of his pharma-
cy, s. Edwin Grant, shows much energy
in the manner in which he conducts the
place. Careful, always, as to detail, he
is winning for himself many friends and
at the same time increasing patronage.
E. T. Dilworth, druggist, whose place
ofbusiness is just west If the postoffice,
has made many needed and useful i'm
provements. This gentleman, although
he says trade is somewhat dull, does not
believe in calmly sitting down and, like
Micawber, waiting for something to
turn up" Enterprise deserves success.

Three Gard Monte.

There are certain class of men who
travel about this country making liv-
ing by defrauding and robbing farmers
and others. They have numerous ways
of cheating men. All our readers have
heard of the oat swindle which cost the
farmers in Pennsylvania and other States
millions of dollars. Then there are the
lightning rod men; then the oily
tongued chap who makes the acquaint-
ance of man who has little cash, and
they, in nine cases out of ten, capture or
steal what cash the farmer has. The
time is at hand when it does no man
good to allow himself to be taken in by
a stranger. % man ought to believe
one word asHanger tells him, until he
finds out what the man is driving after.
Just as soon as you see the stranger
draw pack of cards, then leave him.
He will entice you to play, lead you on
until you lose your head and money.
The papers every day have something
in about swindlers and three-card-monte
men. Take paper.

Good morning, Mr.. Moore. Can you
tell me where l can buy u thorough bred
Durham bull? ?" was the way bunco
man approached William V. Moore, a
well-known farmer residing near Cherry
Hill, as he was walking along one of our
principal streets, on Thursday morning
last, during the fair. After a short con-
yersation about Durham and other thor
ough-bred stock, bunco man No. . APP
peared. He wanted to buy farm, which
Mr.. Moore offered to furnish him. After
further conversation, Mr.. Moore and one
of the men got into Mr.. Moore's carriage
and went to the farm, which, upon in
spection, did not suit the would-be pur-
chaser. The twain returned to the fair
in the afternoon, and there the game
stopped. But on Friday morning Mr..
Moore's new-made friends found him on
the fair grounds, and after enticing him
into their tent, showed him package of
what they called california Tea" and
induced him to buy it, making him be-
lieye it was the best tea he ever saw.
The elder bunco man, who represented
himself as the uncle of the younger one,
said the others father had made for
tune selling the tea, and made Mr.. Moore
believe there were millions in it. Just
then the younger man called the others
attention to the fact that Mr.. Moore had
drawn prize of five dollars with the
tea he had purchased, which was tender
ed him, but before he had time to put it
made mistake, and that Mr.. Moore was
entitled to ten dollars, which they gave
him. In further talk the man said that
the old gentleman having made his for
tune at the business, he wished to retire
and had told his son that if he could
find a man with fifteen hundred dollars
as partner he would give the business
into their hands. He presented the en-
terprise in high colors, Finally Mr..
Moore said he had fifteen hundred dol
lars in the bank and thereupon Mr..
Moore and the nephew went to the Elk
ton National Bank for the purpose of
drawing the required amount. The
officers of the bank cautioned him against
taking the money to the fair grounds,
but he failed to heed their advice, and
went back to the bunco den, where he
was induced to stake his whole pile on
some sort of a game. Whether he won
or lost makes little difference, for no
sooner was the money staked than the
younger swindled remarked that Mr..
Moore had lost, and grabbing the money,
disappeared, and has not been seen
since. The other fellow consoled their
victim by telling him he would tell the
young fellows father about the matter
and he would refund the money. Mr..
Moore went home to get his dinner, when
he suddenly seemed to haye realized the
fact that he had been swindled, and re-
turned and told the detectives on the
fair grounds of his loss, but he was I'M
able to give any cue by which the rascals
could be identified; indeed, it is not like
ly they were within fifty miles of the
grounds. Mr.. Moore is quite an old man
probably seventy years of age, and is es-
timated is be worth twelve or fifteen
thousand ADMINISTRATION Appeal

Not the Man.

The man referred to by the EUery Ecen-
ing few days ago as the supposed muir
derer of the policeman in Philadelphia,
was not the man. We met this man
near the Presbyterian Church and he
enquired of us the direction to the B. &
o. Depot He had a sandy moustache, a
black SLOUGH hat, aud a shutting gait.
He carried IL stick. We don't believe his
eyes were black, although we did not see
them fully. He was very shabbily
dressed.

I On Friday evening of last week, the
last day of Elkton Fair, there was avery
large crowd at Elkton depot to board the
trains going north and south. An extra
left the station at 6.39 north, on which we
took passage. Some of the cars were
poorly lighted, and the young folks were
having a good time. Before reaching
Newark one young man claimed that
another man had insulted his girl. The
prospect for fight was good, and, no
doubt, we would have watched the young
chaps pummeling each other, but they
drew revolvers, They were after hot
gore. The situation was intensely in
teresting, but before one of the enraged
men could shoot, peace was restored.
We were glad of it not because we were
afraid, but we always hated the idea of
being hit with stray ball.
